A Week in Review
The last three days have been exciting and productive! I LOVED knowing all the kids names by on the first day of school and many of their personalities as well! Coming up from third grade gives me a lot of insight of where they are coming from and the direction we are heading!
We have spent a lot of time doing some fun getting to know you type activities, but secretly I have also included plenty of opportunities to see get the kids writing, reading and doing math!
Today will be their first opportunity to visit Mrs. Steffens for science and Mr. Bonnel for social studies. Rotations will occur every day and allow student to visit different classrooms and learn from other teachers. I am very excited about our team and we have already begun to make some great plans of how we plan to link the subjects together throughout the year.
Reader’s Workshop – Metacognition – Thinking about our Reading
Writer’s Workshop – Generating IdeasMath – Geometric Figures
Social Studies – Missouri Regions
Science – Scientific Process
Fundraiser Kickoff
Today will begin our Entertainment Book fundraiser. This is usually a very successful fundraiser for our school and we appreciate your support. The funds raised from the books will be used to purchase additional mini laptops and IPads for students to use as well as communication devices to improve staff communication throughout the school day and during emergencies.
